Zombies of Mora Tau (1957)

I can never resist a good Zombie movie, and this one gives that interesting twist ….the zombies appear to be amphibious! They are protecting their treasure resting at the bottom of the murky waters….and do so by scaring the treasure-seekers with their horrible looks! Ahhhh!! It seems every group of treasure-seekers that tries to steal the loot, end up dead, so good ole granny (who seems to be the only one who accepts these walking weirdos) takes it upon herself to have the grave sites pre-dug for their convenience….how charming… This flick also provides us with our standard staple of “ear-piercing scream” from the helpless and unknowledgeable “Jan” The underwater sequence becomes quite amusing when the zombies casually stroll along the bottom of the lake towards their sunken ship….I guess being dead prevents the burning of calories, thereby giving them that extra weight to stay down…………happy viewing!
